Amitriptyline Lyrics by John Vanderslice

Life and Death of an American Fourtracker

2001

So long, goodbye
By order of the Pasadena court
So long, goodbye
Five hundred milligrams
Held down by a pharamceutical hand, goodbye
Are needed everyday
So we can regulate my uncontrollable urge

Remember me as I was
Too much life, oh, and too much love
Last week, my lastly stunning stunt
Top tier, my jumping chandelier

That's why I'm here
Amitriptyline
Ami...
Amitriptyline

I was a quiet, lunch box lonely little boy
Reading sci-fi, broken treehouse on the shore
Nineteen, talking in my head got harder to understand
No work, no school, drifting, a failing satellite
Don't feel sorry for me, I've been happy too
Manic, kindly, blinding, high-res euphoria

Please remember me as I was
The crowning dove, the clowning judge
Sad king alone in the western wing
Holding foe's laughing, severed head

That's why I'm here
Amitriptyline
Ami...
Amitriptyline
